CONFLICTING STATEMENTS,

The statements made concerning the
cause of the disaster by the crew OF the
freight train were very conflicting. The
general excuse given was that they thought
there was time to reach Republic before
the express arrived. They knew they
were running on the time of the express;
but Tifiin and Republic are but hye miles
apart. They did not agree ~ TO whether
the freight was standing still or moving.
A brakeman said the freight WAS moving
slowly, while Others of the crew said it
was stsading still, having become stalled.

Nearly all the shares in the new South East
street association, the Marion, have beer sold
and the payment of dues has begun. The asso-
citation is one of the few managed on the term-
mating plan.
There are not half dozen societies in the city
that have any money hand, and but few of
them accumulate money fast they can use
it. Yet some people claim that there too
many associations and that they tie up the
money.

bound to succeed. The shares. which are 5000
each, are being rapidly disposed of.
The Dime Savings Association started by Ply
ing it's misson-that Of inducing poor people to
lay up money through the summer for use in
winter. Already great many of this class of
people have laid by enough to be of material aid
to them and by fall they will have accumulated
enough to keep them comfortably through the
cold season.
The Tentonia is making ready to close up it's
affairs in about six weeks. It is of the asso-
Citations that has a remarkable history It lost
81 900 by the bank failures, and 81 900 more by

about SIS on each share.
